The end of profit sharing what that means for the panthers....

According to Forbes, the Panthers are the 12th most valuable franchise in the NFL right now with a total value is 1,049 ($mil). The most valuable franchise in the NFL is Dallas at 1,650 ($mil) and the least valuable franchise in the NFL is Oakland at 798 million. I do have to point out that the Godless band of heathens know as the Falcons are the 3rd least valuable franchise in the NFL. Panthers are 22nd in terms of operating income, but the Cowboys are 4th from last in operating income.

Panthers are 11th overall in revenue beating out the Giants and Steelers which was a surprise to me.

Keep in mind that no cap means no floor either. Teams like Tampa have been forced to spend money since a cap requires teams to spend something like 85% of that amount. While there will be no ceiling, many teams will take this as an opportunity to dump high priced veterans and trim their payrolls knowing that they can make more money by spending less. With two franchise tags, FA going to six years from 4 and the top 8 playoff teams restricted in what they can do in free agency, I doubt there will be many big contracts getting done this year. Players thought that the uncapped year will be a boon for them but found out after looking into it that a lot more players will get hurt by it compared to the few that may benefit.

good points. have any thoughts on the potential lockout if a new CBA isn't reached?

I just don't see a lockout happening. The NFL has the US sports market completely cornered right now thanks in no small part to lockouts in the NHL, MLB, and NBA. These owners are highly intelligent and know that a lockout would really hurt the NFL.

Mostly because the NFL, more than any of the "Big 4" has done an exceptional job at promoting "teams" instead of individuals. Teams stay individuals move from team to team. If they allow a lockout to go down they are essentially individualizing the sport.

What you are seeing right now is just posturing, the Union wants a bigger piece of the pie and say "hey an uncapped year ain't going to hurt our players, do it". So the owners say no revenue sharing, no more bottom and that puts a deep hole in some teams pockets.

That is why I think revenue sharing will be back. You never heard a peep from these small market teams that need that money about how pissed they are over it. Its all just posturing.

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
